Description

This document, titled Agreement by Unmarried Individuals to Purchase and Hold Residence as Joint Tenants, outlines the rights and responsibilities of two unmarried individuals who intend to co-own real estate as joint tenants with survivorship in Utah.

Users must execute a deed to formalize the joint tenancy and are instructed to set up a joint checking account for expenses.
